Hello to the elite Tony M.V. Club of Australia
T.W. The logic behind going to adjustables was so that:
1. I could make a fine adjustment at any time in the future.
2. Because I don't have "friends with the gear" I have saved myself a small fortune in labour by doing as much as I can myself.
T.S. Nice photos. Nice lifters. M.D. doesn't mention them on his site. (no longer available?)
Yes, I would use a pin punch as well. Round hole, round lock tool makes sense. Most blurb seems to mention an Allen key.
I guess the point is that no ones uses a soft item like a nail and ends up with a bit of steel cut off and floating around in the lifter / engine.
G.T. All good info from your fellow countrymen. Hopefully it will set you on a good course. Good luck!
